Great travel tripod, if you don't need panning.
Posted by: Prabhu from: on This is a very sturdy tripod with excellent build quality. Setting up and tearing down of the tripod can be done in under one minute.
The ball head locks pefectly in any position without issues. But, when making the adjustments you have to hold the camera before loosening the knob. Otherwise camera could drop 90 degrees from vertical. This tripod lacks separate locks for horizontal and vertical motion. So you cannot use it for panning. This makes it very difficult to lock your focus and recompose your shot.
If you don't care about panning, then this tripod is definitely worth it's price.

Great travel tripod.
Posted by: 808King2 from: Honolulu, HI on Manfrotto BeFree tripod is a great tripod for individuals on the road. Very compact and light. It can easily support the weight of my D7000. Overall, a great tripod with good value. Only downside is the carrying case is of poor quality and the tripod does not have a level so you can not tell if the camera is off tilt.

Great compact Tripod
Posted by: Soundman6990 from: Portland,OR on I bought this to replace another Manfrotto Compact tripod. because the legs are able to fold up over the tripod head it fits into a small bag which can easily be put in a back pack or luggage. If feels really durable when not fully extended. The other great thing is the head easily unscrews and I can put a larger head on it which gives me better control while using it without having to lug a heavier tripod around. I'm not super crazy about the quick release mechanism but I ordered a different quick release socket to replace it with.

Great for small cameras and larger ones in a pinch
Posted by: Reda1l from: on I have tried out the Befree Tripod with my SONY Nex-6 and it works well. They both fit in a wildlife watcher backpack from Bean along with my birding gear: spotting scope, binoculars, and books to go hiking with the long desired goal of photographing birds, other wildlife and landscapes. My spotting scope is big and heavy, but the Befree holds it fairly well. It probably wouldn't do in windy conditions, but then that's not what the tripod is designed for. All in all I'm very happy.

Best traveling tripod
Posted by: barry from: on I love the size of this tripod. It fits right in my carry on luggage. I've always wanted a ball head and this comes with one. I can recommend this for the beginner or seasoned photographer.

Sturdy Tripod
Posted by: jaxprog from: on This is a sturdy tripod. The tripod has a nice solid feel to it as opposed to light cheap plastic. I use it with my Nikon D7200. It has a ball swivel which can be locked down or loosened. When loose you can adjust the camera while mounted moving up/down or right/left with ease. There is a groove where the camera can be adjusted to face at a 90 degree angle facing down. The tripod legs telescope up/down to either extend or retract. The legs are locked down with a simple twist/pressure screw like clamp. Its a little heavy but still portable. The tripod does not have a level on it and I do find it rather difficult get the legs to be equally extended outward in triangle or the ball swivel to be flush. Its probably because it is a ball swivel type tripod. I would recommend this tripod to any camera user and I believe that it is a high quality product that will last a long time.

Great product
Posted by: Nicholas from: on I bought this product for my wife for Christmas, and the moment she took the wrapping paper off she started to cry. She absolutely adores this tripod, I think it's absolutely awesome with the flip feature it has for picture taking and for storage.

Good travel tripod
Posted by: Markg from: on Folds down nicely to an easy to pack size. Easy to adjust and set up and holds a lot. A little heavier than I had hoped, but didn't want to spend the extra money for carbon.
